We're doing it again!

October 18 2008...
That is the date our baby is due. Yes, we are having another baby. This wasn't totally planned but we are fine with it. Jacob will make a good big brother. I am happy to be having another baby I just wish I could skip the pregnancy part and go right to the baby part. David took a little bit to adjust. He was a little scared that we aren't financially ready for two children.
I am hoping we have a baby girl. I have my prince and now I want my little princess. I will be happy with another boy and I will love him all the same but those little pink dresses look so adorable. If this is a little girl we are done with the baby thing for a while if not for good.
I feel blessed that GOD has chosen us to be the parent's of another baby. We must be doing something right for HIM to give us two wonderful gifts of love.

Back to Fort Hood

I finally have a few free minutes!

David went back to work today. Yeah, we've been in Texas for over a week but he was enjoying his vacation. I guess PT wasn't too bad even though it was raining and muddy.

Big Guy and Nessa have vet appointments today. Nessa needs to get updated on pretty much every shot because we lost her shot record and she needs to get a microchip implanted. Big Guy just needs to get the microchip implanted. I wish we could control our dogs with those little chips not just identify them.

Jacob had the flu yesterday. I hope that's all it was. He was lying in bed between David and I yesterday morning when he threw up all over David. It wasn't spit up it was vomit. He had diarrhea the rest of the day and again twice today. Poor baby only wanted to cuddle and sleep yesterday.

We are completely moved in on post. We finally have cable and Internet. I like being all settled in.

I am job hunting again. I need to find a job like yesterday! I am going to the employment readiness center here on post today to see if they can help.

Big Guy is doing pretty good with the whole transition. Since we only feed him dog food he never farts. When he was living with David's parents his farts were the worst! He is actually a pretty calm dog and good for the most part.

Nessa is a brat as usual. She never lets Big Guy eat so now we have to separate her from him when he wants to eat. Otherwise her being a brat is usual and she is fine.

Jacob never crawls anymore and is almost running. He has an attitude and uses it often. He is such an outdoors boy and loves playing in the backyard.

I am doing great just trying to find a job.

David is fine. It's like he never left. There was no problems with him adjusting to family life.

Watching your son play in the back yard with only a diaper and socks on makes you want to drop to your knees and thank GOD for blessing you with the word "mommy".

Sorry for lack of blogging

David is home! Well actually he has been back since January 18th but I am just now finally getting a chance to sit down and blog about it. We have all fallen in to a routine quite easily. Jacob loves having his daddy home. Mommy is old news, everything is about Daddy now. I guess I should have seen it coming.
We have been back home for a while and will be heading back to Texas later this week. Once we are all settled in Texas I will be able to pay more attention to my blog.
I better get out of my pj's and start the day.

Happy New Year's Eve!

Happy New Year's Eve 2007/2008!!!
This past year has been one of those years that I will forever remember. This past year I raised a baby by myself due to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Many of Jacob's firsts took place this year, from first tooth to first steps. This year was an emotional roller-coaster many highs and many lows. I am happy to say I survived and have even become a better person.
I have a hard time keeping my resolutions but I make them anyways, so here they are... My New Year's Resolutions:
1) Get down to and stay at 120 pounds.
2) Eat healthier
3) Save money
4) Exercise
5) Stop stressing over the small stuff.
6) Appreciate the little things in life.
7) Finish all projects I start.
Let's see how long these resolutions last. I don't think last years even lasted a month!
Tonight is New Year's Eve but no kiss will brush across my lips because I am saving my new year's kiss for my soldier...

Christmas has come and gone.

Merry Belated Christmas!
Jacob's 2nd Christmas has come and gone. He got lots of toys, and I am not going to take up an entire post listing them all because I am sure I would forget some. On Christmas Eve we spent the day at David's grandparent's house and left there to come to my parent's house at 10:30 pm. I got about 4 hours of sleep and woke up to open gifts with my family and then we went to David's parent's and opened more presents. I have to say this Christmas was good to me. I received lots of wonderful gifts and even some I didn't expect! I hope I thanked everyone enough and if not I hope you know I am grateful.
David's Christmas sucked because Santa doesn't go to Iraq. I guess the "bad guys" don't like Santa. I saved David's Christmas presents and he will be able to open them when he gets to Texas.
I will be leaving for Texas on January 7th. Everyone tells me I must be excited but really I am not. Maybe once I am in Texas the excitement will hit me. This reunion is long over do and I just want us to be together again.... I think I am feeling more of a relief then anything else.
Jacob has been sick with diarrhea for 2 weeks now. I am going to take him to the ER, again, if it isn't better tomorrow. Last night he screamed for almost an hour with stomach pain. He would pull his legs up and make tight fists, the whole time screaming out in pain. I knew it was his stomach and I felt so bad. I almost started crying myself.
I will be at my parent's place for a few more days then I am back to Grand Forks to pack up and then I am off to Texas.
Jesus came to bless this world, let us all rejoice in the blessing of the Lord.
